The retro-print fashion collection by FILA and British vintage specialist Too Hot Limited is an exquisite line-up of 80s-inspired clothing. Given that the industry is focusing on comfortable, nostalgia-inducing silhouettes, this drop will undoubtedly be extremely popular. The inspiration for the chic capsule, however, is not only tied to the decade. The latest 'Magic Line' is a "relaunch of 1988’s skiwear collection" which paid tribute to Reinhold Messner — a professional climber that conquered K-2. The drop celebrates 30 years.
The retro-print fashion capsule features fleeces, track pants and other accessories. Aside from the comfortable, baggy and functional silhouettes, the color palette is a point of interest as it features a range of agreeably contrasting vibrant nuances.
